Hi Andy, sorry only just looked back on here. They were supposed to be using the range again yesterday but not sure if they did or not. Rumour when I was down there Wednesday evening was they may be back next Tuesday evening too, will keep an eye out and if I see anything more I will post here.

Thanks
Martin

Thanks Martin I currently live in a village called tydd st Giles so only about 20 mins away I just don’t like driving up and not seeing anything I thought I’d register for this forum so that I can atleast see if anything’s using the range

Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy, have just looked at a notam for holbeach and it is open the same as last week from 5pm until 1am from today the 3rd until the 6th September. The range is closed until 1pm each day too so probably no point going down before 1pm.

Cheers
Martin
